Chapter Ninety-One: The Expectations of All
"Afraid of what? As long as the child comes out safely, what is the point of suffering? Don't be afraid, my sisters are all from here, and everything will be fine. Orange Creek comforted the concubine and told her not to think about it.
Concubine Yu nodded with satisfaction.
The midwifery aunts have already lived in Jingyang Palace to prepare for childbirth, and it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Yun Ling led the midwife aunt into the side hall to live, Yun Ling said as she walked, "You have to have a long snack, you must ensure that the concubine gives birth safely and smoothly." ”
The midwife's aunt nodded in response, "Don't worry, eldest sister, even the concubine of the former queen was delivered by us, how many Ago Gege we delivered, as long as there are no accidents, it is guaranteed to be smooth." ”
Entering the side hall, Yun Ling stood at the door, saw that there was no one outside the door, took out some silver from her body, and handed it to the midwife.
The midwife's aunt looked at the silver, "What else does the eldest sister have to advise?" ”
"If anything happens, remember to protect the adult, remember. I heard that you also have a son who works as an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, and if it is done, it will be difficult to say if you let your son do a good job, and if you can't do it, it will be difficult to say. In order to keep this backer for Hongye, Yun Ling did not hesitate to risk killing her head, and she also wanted her midwife aunt to keep her concubine.
The midwife's aunt accepted the money, and naturally her mouth was short, and her hands were soft, nodding again and again, "Don't worry, big sister." ”
Even tempted and forced, Yun Ling was relieved.
Within a few days, the concubine's stomach began to start.
The pot exploded in Jingyang Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs brought water, took pots, and called people. Xiangyun's voice urging the midwife's aunt and the cry of the concubine were mixed together and echoed in Jingyang Palace.
Yun Ling also waited anxiously beside her, for fear that something would happen to her concubine.
Xiangyun grabbed Concubine Yu's hand, knelt in front of the bed, and cheered for Concubine Yu, "Lord Yu, you bear with it, work harder, you will be comfortable after birth, come on!" ”
Concubine Yu screamed in pain on the bed, sweating on her forehead, "Xiangyun, this palace can't be born, it hurts, is this palace going to die?" ”
"Lord Yu, don't talk nonsense, giving birth to children is like this, everyone comes over like this, don't think nonsense." Xiangyun hurriedly interrupted Concubine Yu's words.
Concubine Yu couldn't help but continue to scream, her voice became louder and louder, and there was a tense atmosphere in Jingyang Palace.
Orange Creek also rushed to hear the news, walking like the wind, Yu Lan followed behind, and kept shouting, "Eniang, slow down, be careful of falling......"
Seeing Yun Ling anxiously guarding the door, she hurriedly asked, "Is it raw?" ”
"Concubine Huixi, not yet!" Yun Ling had an anxious expression on her face, and her palms were sweating.
"Did you have someone to inform the emperor?" Seeing Yun Ling's anxious face, Orange Creek was very relieved, this kind of worry can't be pretended, it seems that Yun Ling is really not bad intentions, she thought so in her heart, and continued to ask Yun Ling.
"I went, I went a long time ago, but the emperor hasn't come yet."
"In this way, Yun Ling, you go to the Tai Hospital to find the medical leave, in case there is any situation, let him have an idea." With that, Orange Creek walked back into the house.
Yun Ling's mouth replied yes, but she still hesitated, because she was afraid that Concubine Yu would have an accident, but after thinking about it, Concubine Xi cared so much about Concubine Yu and would definitely try her best to protect her.
"Sister Yu, are you okay?" As soon as Orange Creek entered the inner hall, he hurriedly asked if the concubine was okay.
"Sister, you're here! My sister is so miserable, I really don't want to give birth. Concubine Yu said in a trembling voice, probably in severe pain.
"It's okay, it's okay to give birth, auntie, how is it? What are the production conditions of the concubines? Orange Creek asked her midwife, whose hands were covered in blood.
"The conditions of the concubine's master are not bad, but she is not very good at using force, and the strength is quite large, but the support is not long, so the child's head has not been able to come out." The midwife's face was sad, wiping beads of sweat from her head.
Orange Creek, who is not too experienced, pointed at Concubine Yu word by word on the side, but she didn't expect it to work, Concubine Yu worked hard according to what she said, and soon saw the top of the child's head.
The midwife's aunt said excitedly, "When you see the head, use some more force." ”
The concubine screamed, exerted all her strength, and fainted.
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
"It's born, it's born, it's a little Gege......" The midwife aunt said excitedly, while hugging the smooth little Gege, with a long umbilical cord attached to her belly.
Orange Creek burst into tears with excitement, looked at the white and chubby little Gege, and laughed happily.
"Concubine Xi, the master has fainted, what should I do?" In addition to being excited, Xiangyun was more worried about the concubine.
At this time, the voice of Gonggong Chen came from outside the room, presumably the emperor arrived, and it was really time for the emperor to come, as soon as the child landed, he came, what a ready-made father.
"It's okay, I think I'm tired, the medical break will come soon, just let him take a look later." Orange Creek comforted Xiangyun, who seemed to be crying, and turned to Aunt Jiesheng and said, "You guys quickly clean up here, and let the imperial doctor come in to check the pulse of Concubine Yu later." ”
The midwife's aunt put down the scissors in her hand to cut the umbilical cord, and while finding a small quilt to wrap Xiao Gege, she responded to Orange Creek.
Yu Lan helped Orange Creek out of the inner room and went to the guest hall to report the good news to the emperor.
Seeing Orange Creek coming in, the emperor hurriedly asked, "When I entered the door, I heard the child's cry, was it born?" ”
"Hmmm! Born, it's a little Gege. ”
"Gege is good, and when you grow up, you will be able to be like a concubine, gentle and virtuous, and more beautiful than Xi Shi. Reward, Jingyang Palace is appreciated. The emperor's joy was beyond words, and it seemed that he was really happy.
Oh, yes! Gege, it can be regarded as a long-awaited return! In fact, they don't know that if it weren't for Gege, it would be impossible for them to be born so smoothly, and the children in the palace are more fragile than the poor families, and those who can grow up safely and healthily are all lucky people.
Although the emperor is happy, he is actually eccentric, Jingyang Palace has been rewarded, but the emperor does not have the position of Jin Yu concubine, is it because he is Gege?
The emperor doesn't reward it, and Orange Creek definitely doesn't want to open his mouth to ask for his concubine. Anyway, as long as the mother and daughter are safe, other things outside the body will be talked about later.
"Let's go! Your Majesty, let's go see Xiao Gege! Orange Creek made a proposal to the emperor.
The emperor agreed, and went to the concubine's room with Orange Creek, and happened to meet the doctor who came to rest, he saw the emperor and Orange Creek, and quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up!" The emperor let him flatten.
"Medical leave, go and show your concubine, she fainted." Orange Creek followed the emperor's words.
The doctor replied and followed them into the house together.
Orange Creek hurriedly went to pick up Xiao Gege to the emperor, and the emperor and Orange Creek were teasing Xiao Gege, and both of them smiled so brightly, as if they were looking at their own children.
Now there is another person, more than anyone in Jingyang Palace, who wants to know whether Concubine Yu gave birth to Gege or Brother. I only cared about the safety of my concubine before, but I forgot that what if my concubine gave birth to my brother?
Yun Ling, who came back from the Tai Hospital, was now anxious, and hurriedly grabbed a little palace maid who came out of the back room with dirty water, "Did Concubine Yu give birth to Gege or Brother?" ”
"Gege, it's a little Gege, but it's beautiful."
Yun Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile immediately climbed onto her still cloudy face, she let go of the hand holding the palace maid, and was a little overwhelmed with excitement.
She was about to open the curtain and go into the house to see the concubine, but suddenly stopped again, turned around and walked towards Hongye's room.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were hiding in Jingyang Palace and were responsible for finding out the news, when they learned that the concubine was born, they also dispersed one after another, and rushed back to the palaces to return to their masters.
"Master, the person in charge of finding out the news has returned, and the one in Jingyang Palace has been born, and he is a Gege." Xiaobi came in from outside and said to Concubine Xiang, who was playing chess with Hongtai.
"Well, it's really expected!" Concubine Xiang smiled and took a chess piece and fell.
"Eniang, can you not so much unnecessary idleness, people have children, you are more anxious than giving birth to children yourself." Hongtai looked unhappy.
"Silly boy, you know what! If she gives birth to an elder brother, plus your emperor's mother-in-law, she will definitely climb steadily, how can you and your mother still have a foothold? Maybe he even robbed you of the crown prince. ”
"Eniang, my son's talent is limited, so it's difficult to take on this big responsibility at all, not to mention that my son doesn't want to be the prince, so don't worry about it." Hongtai sincerely confided his thoughts to Concubine Xiang.
Concubine Xiang saw that Hongtai was so pessimistic about fame and fortune, and she panicked. She had an idea and used the chess game on the chessboard to explain the truth to him.
Hongtai's white pieces were surrounded by death, and there was no way out. He didn't admit defeat and said, "Eniang, it's my son's carelessness, let's play another game." ”
"Chess can be repeated, but life is only once, isolated, even if you want to be alone, others may not give you the opportunity to bloom, only when everything is in your own hands, can you live the life you want."
Hongtai must have understood what Concubine Xiang meant, but he just didn't say anything, concentrating on studying the chess game on the chessboard.
Concubine Xiang doesn't have too much luxury now, let's get the position of concubine first, at least on an equal footing with Orange Creek, in order to better win the position of queen, and at that time, Hongtai's position as the prince will be in the bag.
Concubine Xiang never expected that when she was still looking forward to her concubine position, the emperor was ready to canonize the queen in advance.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Gege doesn't have a name yet? Please give the emperor a name. Concubine Yu never mentioned this matter to the emperor, and Orange Creek helped her ask the emperor for help.
"You haven't seen you so concerned about your own affairs, if you can use your heart for your concubines and everyone in the harem, then you really have the ability to be a mother in the world." It seems that the emperor is going to act, and it is the meaning of the queen in the open.
"If this can really share the emperor's worries, the concubines are willing to use this heart to try to live in harmony with every concubine in the harem and not let the emperor be distracted." Orange Creek must have heard the emperor's words, of course she has to follow the emperor, and she will try to say whatever the emperor wants to hear.
She is not a saint, she is just flesh and blood, and she will also have feelings and selfishness, because she has integrated into this world and regards herself as a part of this era. Everyone wants to get the back position, and she will not stop fighting for it.
The emperor also understood what Orange Creek meant, and understood that she no longer resisted the matter of the book, maybe he thought that this was because Orange Creek took him to heart, and it turned out that the emperor also had times when he was self-righteous.
